While Ferrari enjoyed a flawless weekend, some teams had a Grand Prix to forget. Red Bull being one of them. The team faced some suspected fuel pump issues on both cars that led Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez to DNF. Ferrari wasted no time in making fun of their rival’s misfortune.

This joke will definitely not going to go unnoticed across the paddock. Red Bull will be waiting for a chance to get back at the team in Red at the earliest possibility.
